I’m starting to realize that all the kids are fighting for spots in the same 75 schools. None of the others are that hard to get in with average stats.

This is interesting in light of the anecdotes people are sharing about high stats kids that got rejected or WL everywhere. It seems as though a lot of students went heavy on reaches.

What is Clemson looking for? My kid with a 28 ACT and a 3.5 gpa was rejected. They may get more freshman applicants, but they’re not going to get what they’re looking for.

The link is hard to read. OSU, for example, is not accepting freshman applications, just transfers. So read this carefully if you’re interested.

The list also includes little known colleges like Boise State, BU, Clemson, FSU, Marquette, MSU, Syracuse, OSU, Arizona, Colorado, and Oregon.

You're an a$$hole, OP.

I am glad this list exists but G-D get a new web designer, this is unreadable.

Maryland:
Goucher
Hood
Loyola
Mt St. Mary's
St. John's
Towson
UMBC

Virginia:
Bridgewater
Fairfax University (anyone heard of this one?)
Hampden-Sydney
Hollins
Mary Baldwin
Marymount
Randolph
Roanoke
Shenandoah
UVA Wise
Lynchburg

How are schools like Clemson (51% acc rate) and UNCC (65% acc rate) on this list? Does that mean that they screwed up rejected too many and are now looking for new applications?

My Junior is considering a few of these schools, I hope this means they’ll get in next year if they apply.

OP just doesn't understand what the list is.

There are 281 colleges and universities on this list. 14 of them, or 5%, are CTCL colleges. 30 CTCL colleges are not on it.

FFS.

Wow, you’re a jerk, OP. Hope karma comes for you with your sneering judgment and disdain for others.

At first, I thought you had shared the link as a way to be helpful to "parents and others assisting students who have not yet completed the college admission process," but I can see from your comment that you really just wanted to sneer at schools you consider to be beneath you. DCUM is so DCUM.
